"I needed three dead dogwood trees cut down and removed. They were very prompt in reaching out to me and discussing what my needs for tree removal were. Dylan came out and looked at the trees later that week and was back the next to complete the job. He did a fantastic job and exceeded my expectations! I would definitely recommend them for any tree removal or landscaping needs! I'm going to have him come back out next spring to trim my azaleas! Thanks so much for your help and great service!!!"

"My only complaint is I would have liked if someone came out to check the state of the ditch beforehand for a more accurate quote. When the guy showed up I asked if he could stay on a certain path as to not mess up the grass with the excavator and he was very reassuring and respectful! He asked if I wanted a heads up if we needed more material I told him do what you gotta do and the new driveway came out amazing! Even though I spent more money than I expected the end result was worth it! Thank you!"

"Respess Brothers Tree Service were OUTSTANDING, PROFESSIONAL, CONCISE, and TIMELY!! They completed the service - removing two big trees (one very large pine tree in the backyard) and 5 large bushes in the front -- with their new machine so efficiently and safely! We were so impressed with their expertise in figuring out how to remove our trees which would have taken much longer. We HIGHLY recommend their services and they get the job done!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.
